ENERGY EFFICIENCY

WOOD IS ENERGY-SAVING

Wood is a natural material with incredible insulating capabilities and enables constructing a house without any thermal bridges, which reduces heating and cooling costs. The loss of thermal energy is measured by the heat transfer factor Uw, which indicates how much heat “escapes” through the surface the size of 1m2 at the temperature difference of 1K. The lower the value of Uw, the lower the heat losses. The index Uw≤0.09 W/m2K is the scale for a PASSIVE HOUSE of the highest quality of which the heat required for warming is lower than 10 kWh/m2. The passive construction standard is most easily achieved with a wooden construction.
